You are talking about the upgraded version of the sword s!sw24.itm. I haven't forged that one yet. Can i not copy&paste your fixed version to my installation?

You can copy the updated sword (S!sw24.itm) into your installation, yes.

My reports were about the Dragon Blade +3 itself (BDSW2H01.itm). Most probably the same fix as for the upgraded version could be applied?!?

If you mean to copy the same effects from the updated sword that are present in the original one (BDSW2H01.itm) then yes, it should generally work although the updated sword might have a stronger variation. Can't tell surely, I don't have access to the items' descriptions right now.

Not exactly. I would also need to adept all the string refs. But the upgraded version is working as expected and i managed to add the 10% bonus to DR manually. So all good here.

I guess i have to live with the bugged effect as bulian said. But i'm looking forward to forge the upgrade
